Large Space Solar Arrays
Solar Arrays
Ewingar Scientific has the capability to produce large size deployable solar arrays for space applications using state-of-the-art composite materials technology in which liquid resin is applied directly in free space (in space orbit). The fabric frame is impregnated with a liquid matrix (prepreg) is prepared in terrestrial conditions, assembled with solar membrane, folded and packed in a container, launched to an orbit, inflated, and cured in-situ.
